Abstract: A method of processing data includes providing input data by a measurement device, converting the input data into output data provided in a unified data format, wherein the unified data format is a unique data format which is independent of individual formats of various measurement devices, wherein the unique data format is a relational data format, and the relational data format is a format in which data items are grouped to data item groups being logically linked to one another, and further processing the output data.

Abstract: A data processing device includes a processor unit adapted to convert input data provided by a measurement device into output data provided in a unified data format.

Abstract: A measurement device for performing a measurement, the measurement device comprising a storage unit for storing acquired measurement data indicative of an order of storing the measurement data, wherein the measurement data is transmittable to a coupled controller device, and a processor which is adapted to, upon receipt of an availability request of the controller device related to measurement data stored in the storage device and available for transmission, provide the controller device with information in accordance with the availability request based on the order.
